Apport gets stuck and sucks CPU

[Ted Gould]

Occasionally apport gets stuck and starts taking all of my CPU. It seems to be related to the attached crash file.

Strace looks like this:
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
rt_sigreturn(0xb) = 1
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
rt_sigreturn(0xb) = 1
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
rt_sigreturn(0xb) = 1
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
rt_sigreturn(0xb) = 1
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
rt_sigreturn(0xb) = 1
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
rt_sigreturn(0xb) = 1
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
rt_sigreturn(0xb) = 1
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
rt_sigreturn(0xb) = 1
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
rt_sigreturn(0xb) = 1
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
rt_sigreturn(0xb) = 1
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
rt_sigreturn(0xb) = 1

The open files look like this:

Easily confirmed by running the crash file through apport-cli on quantal.

Ah, it just finished, after taking some significant amount of time:

*** Invalid problem report

This problem report applies to a program which is not installed any more. (/usr/bin/gwibber-service)

And it's probably worth noting that I actually processed that using the Raring version of apport, 2.9.2-0ubuntu8.
